Abstract: This paper proposed a computer-aided detection (CAD) system to automatically detect pulmonary nodules from thoracic computed tomography (CT) images. Automatically detect pulmonary nodules is a difficult job because of the large deviation in size, shape, location and density of nodules. The proposed CAD scheme applies multiple 3D disk-shaped laplacian filters to enhance the shape of spherical regions. Optimal multiple thresholding and 3D distance mapping is used to extract regions of interest and separate nodules. Finally, rule-based pruning removes easily dismissible false positive structures. The proposed system provides an overall nodule detection rate of 80% with an average of 12.2 false positives per scan. The experimental results reveals that the proposed CAD can attain a comparatively high performance.
